EL PASO, TEXAS - When Ms Jordan Ballard read that one of the victims of the El Paso massacre had few relatives and the public was invited to her funeral, the Los Angeles resident bought a plane ticket and flew to Texas to honour a woman she had never met.
The service was moved from a funeral home to La Paz Faith Memorial & Spiritual Centre to accommodate the crowd. Vocalists and musicians volunteered to help, including a mariachi band. Condolences and orders for flowers poured in. Moments later, mariachis walked through the crowd singing"Amor Eterno," the 1984 ballad by the late Juan Gabriel, that has become an anthem for El Paso following the shooting. Some attendees sang along. Others sobbed and got out of line.
"Probably some people have felt like Mr Tony in a time of death - they felt like they were alone and nobody was around," Mr Johnson said.
